Use Free Numbers for quick tests, or go straight to Rental if you need repeat access.
Select a +27 South Africa number and paste it into the verification form.
Wait briefly, refresh once, retry once — then stop (resend spam triggers limits).
If it fails, switch the number or move to a private route / Instant Activation for better deliverability.
Help users pick the right option fast.
| Route | Best for | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Free inbox Quick tests | Throwaway signups, low-risk verification | Public & reused. Some apps block it instantly. |
| Instant Activation Higher deliverability | When you need OTP to land more reliably | Private-ish route for fewer blocks and higher success. |
| Rental Best for re-login | 2FA, recovery, accounts you'll keep | Most stable option for repeat access over time. |
